Printer -- Thinks 'letter' is 8x10 / 4


So my dads printer is a Canon BJC-240 and he's running Redhat 9 (w/CUPS). Cups found the printer and assigned the drivers for that exact mocel (bjc-240).

So we open up Open office, type some stuff and do a 'print preview" and it looks just fine. I made sure all the print features in OOo were standard and proceeded to print.


It doesn't work!

It prints as if the 8x10 peice of paper is divided into Fours. like;

1 | 2
------
3 | 4


where 1 is the print out of the document, all small n stuff ANy ideas? i've never used a pritner before.

You have to adjust your printer properties.
